by upgrading a tie rode by it self will not damage anything, but torsional stress will. Look I am dentist, I can give an example from my field . If you have one tinny tooth root and you will place a beefy crown on it, guess which part will break when you apply a pressure on it? That is why...
That is because I did a mistake with front bumper, I thought I can add winch plate later, but no, they are selling now differernt model of Havoc bumper with winch plate. I called Havoc if they can exchange it , but no luck I need to buy a new model, so I will go with JCR soon.
I am still...
Well, I have a JCR full hard top full rack, which is 62 lbs , ikamper tent is 165lbs, me 182lbs, my wife 148 lbs, kid 95 lbs, second one 25lbs, so math is = 682lbs. Total weight when we are camping all together. So far we slept 10-12 times together on the roof top tent, nothing happened (yet)...
Yes, you have a right point, broken tie rod will not ensure the health of the rack, but man this truck is absorbing money like a sponge , I will upgrade the rack and tails eventually, may be next year
Well, any type of lift (proper and not proper) is changing the geometry , oem tie rods with my lift kinda like fuse , so I better have broken tie rod than messed up steering rack, I am running on 35's now, in future if I break tie rod, than I will consider to going to HOSSs
If you are planing to have 2 tanks than you have to get 90 degree limited tailgate strut , search for this (Hammer Built Limiting Tailgate Strut for 6th Gen Bronco), otherwise with 1 roto tank you can fully open the gate without limitation.
Thank you , yes you right with total coast (+/- some screws/bolts/wires)
by the way if anyone need this information so I added in total 800 lbs weight
Havoc Offroad Steel Bender Front Bumper 73 lbs
Vanguard aluminium Rear bumper 70 lbs
Fuel Tank Skid Plate 31 lbs
Skid Plate Package engine - 33...
